Black Mummy (Tom Horn Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Black Mummy – Our Slot Review

I’ve played Black Mummy from Tom Horn Gaming enough to know its rhythm. It’s a 5x3, five-payline slot with an RTP of 96% and medium variance. The setup is old-school, yet the Wild Mummy twist keeps it lively. Wins come from neat line hits rather than sprawling ways, so line selection matters less than timing and streaks. The package feels tight, with a gamble option and on-reel multipliers doing the heavy lifting when the base game goes flat.

For me the appeal lies in control. I can size stakes to the session and lean on the multiplier spikes when the mummy lands. With just five lines, hit windows are readable, and I’ve found streaks cluster. The gamble adds a quick shot at momentum after smaller wins. It feels like a classic cabinet piece that still stands up, especially if you prefer measured pacing to manic cascades.

Theme & Symbols in Black Mummy

Theme and symbols stick to shadowy Egypt. You get a brooding tomb backdrop, hieroglyph touches, and a reel set trimmed in gold. Symbols mix royals from J to A with picture icons tied to the setting such as scarab, pyramid, ring, and pharaoh motifs. The star is the Black Mummy, which acts as the wild. Audio sits low, more hum than anthem, and that suits a slot where tension builds on multipliers rather than constant fireworks.

Black Mummy Symbols and Paytable

The paytable is straight to the point. The Black Mummy can pay on its own and also substitute. Five wilds pay x100. Above that, the top picture bands step down through x50, x40, x30, and x20 for five of a kind, with 4OAK and 3OAK pays mapped at x20/x10, x12/x6, x8/x4, and x6/x3. Lower bands cover the small stuff with x6, x5, x4, and x3 tops, each pairing to x3 or x2 for four and x1 for three.

On five fixed lines the maths rewards clean line-ups. You’re not chasing scattered features, so reading the board helps. The royals carry lighter returns, typically topping at x4 to x3 for five, then x2 or x1 for shorter hits. It’s a ladder that makes sense once you’ve logged a few spins. I treat the wild’s line pay as a rare bonus and look to the substitution for most value.

Bonus Features in Black Mummy

The headline feature is the wild multiplier. When the Black Mummy substitutes for J, Q, K, or A, it can apply win multipliers up to 5x. That turns modest lines into proper hits, and it’s why I stay patient through quieter stretches. The kicker is that the multiplier sits on substitution, so you want those royals lining with the wild rather than chasing high symbols that don’t benefit.

There’s also a Risk game, the classic double-or-nothing. After a win you can take a punt to try doubling. I use it on tidy, mid-sized hits rather than outliers. It’s a momentum tool, not a bailout. The volatility sits mid, so you’ll see enough triggers to use it without overexposing the balance.

Multiplier and gamble pair well with five lines. Base hits keep the session ticking, the wild pumps the average when it shows, and the Risk option lets you press a touch when the flow is with you. I set a cap on gambles and stick to it. That keeps the maths on my side across longer runs.

RTP (96%) and Volatility in Black Mummy

RTP is posted at 96%, with medium variance. In play that translates to steady small hits and the odd jump when the mummy multiplier lands on royals. Stakes go up to £100 a spin, so bankroll planning matters. I map sessions around multiples of the bet and give it room for the multipliers to show. It isn’t a droughty grinder, but it will ask for patience if you run cold.

Max Win (x500) in Black Mummy

The headline max win is x500. On five lines that figure means top symbol lines or stacked wild involvement, and luck aligning with line placement. It’s not a fantasy number, yet it does require a well-timed board. In practice, most of my better boards came from wild multipliers on tidy royal lines rather than pure premium streaks.

I treat the x500 as the ceiling for bankroll modelling. I’m not chasing it every session. Instead I play for the median spikes from 2x to 5x wild action, with the Risk game nudging a few into standout territory. That mindset keeps results sane and turns the rare big board into a nice extra.

Originality – Black Mummy

Black Mummy feels like a focused take on a classic five-line slot. The twist is the wild that juices only the royals, which adds a neat layer to what you want to land. Add the simple Risk game, and you’ve a clean loop that still has bite. It won’t suit feature hunters, but if you like tidy maths and multiplier spikes, it does the job.
